Tree of Heaven ???

The pictures aren’t real clear for me but it may be Mulberry as Woodtroll said.

 

[Cat 525]

Good old mulberry. Burns ok when cured a year and does spark a bit like hedge. Splits easy.

 

[Junk Meister]

Mulberry is my vote It is a nice smoking wood more mellow than Hickory. Mulberry can be scraggly like Ash or straight like pictured.

Mulberry

Thanks y’all. I told a guy that I thought it was Mullberry but he wasn’t having it.lol. He had a little Ford Ranger loaded above the level of the cab! Suspension was bottomed out and the front tires must have been barely making contact. I can’t figure how his back tires weren’t blown. He had a good bit of dead stuff but there was a lot of green Mullberry in the load. Apparently, that’s a tough little truck! Thanks for responding to my post y’all!

Mulberry is pretty dense. Usually listed high in btu charts Has to dry out a while though.

Agreed. I like a couple years at least with mulberry. I cut a lot of it and it’s pretty damn rot resistant. Lasts in the pile a long time

Yeh, that tree ever had berries it's not an Elm for sure. Planting a handful of Mulberry trees is in my master plan at our future home.

If you plant one mulberry and it produces berries, then your local birds will plant you an entire plantation of mulberry trees. Around here they grow in fencelines and along old buildings like crazy because the birds eat the berries and scatter the seeds.

Edited to add that racoon love the berries and scatter the seeds also.

That's what we get with the European variety of blackberries at our place. It'll completely take over crowding out every other plant there is. The native variety cohabitates.

NOTHING purdier than clothes off the line somewhere near a Mulberry tree.

Clearing out a fence row for Pa today in north Alabama.
Cut down a whole sapling of whatever this is…reminds me of several trees.

What do you guys say?

Some sort of birch for sure. Could be a white, river, or a black birch depending on where they grow.

Looks like wild cherry from here. It's famous for being a fence row tree.

 

[legdelimber]

Cherry will sometimes ooze sap at little stress cracks. Sort of wells up in places.
If the birds ever let them get ripe, nice tasting little pea sized fruit.
Not much meat on them though. As Stihlo36 mentioned they tend to get planted by birds pooping along fences.
We always had blackberries and Cherry and Cedar trees in the old fences around here.
